A huge, potbellied creature lumbers from behind a bushel of trees. It is covered in feathers, which is a combination of gray and brown. Razor sharp claws line their hands.

Nothronychus is an enigma. Despite its rather awkward appearance, Nothronychus is a dangerous combatant. It has razor sharp claws capable of flaying a human alive, yet it is a herbivore. It is a docile creature, but when attacked is capable of taking down a full pack of Deinonychus. Nothronychus is descended from carnivores, that slowly evolved into omnivores and, finally, herbivores like Nothronychus. Its very appearance is known to confuse other animals, who can't quite figure out if Nothronychus is predator or prey.

CombatNothronychus rarely enters combat, but when it does, it slaughters its enemies without remorse. Even the most intimidating predators hesitate to attack this massive beast.

Knockback (Ex): When Nothronychus hits a target at least two size categories smaller than itself with its claw attack, it may shove the target back 1d3 x 5 feet. If this causes the target to collide with another creature, both take 1d6 damage.
